Well done Noni - showed "he who dares wins!"
Too many players taking up cowardly positions, playing cowardly passes - sideways & backwards when we did go forward : slow passes behind the player whose first thought was . Sideways
So this is our "handbrake off" football where we invite pressure onto ourselves, almost give Forest their first home goal & achieve just 1 shot on target.
At least we won - 3 points in the bag
Bet Bayern defence are nervous.

I don’t normally agree with you because every post you put up is negative but today I can’t say anything to disagree with you, I’d say our front line is probably the worst out of the top teams apart from spurs, don’t get me started on saka but hes a good defender and tracks back lol but him left back then because he’s s*** at right wing, I hope he proves me wrong, I’d love him to but I’m 3 years up on him, I’d bring kalastrom back,
{Ed025's Note - since when were Spurs a top team mate?..

We were hopeless today and needed the lucky deflection to get the three points, that all that matters to stay above Brighton and in touching distance of City, both are playing awesome football. Need to plough on and keep getting the points because if we all can see it, the decision makers can too and let's pray that they invest in January.
Many players who we brought in to improve us i.
e Gyokeres, Zubimendi, Eze etc have lost their mojos. Why not give Dowman few minutes to show what he can do in such games when Saka wasn't able to affect the game?
Forest could have won if Wood had taken his shot first time and Murillio had found the top corner. We are riding our luck and hope it doesn't run out before January.
{Ed025's Note - you will get back on track next week against Everton mate..

Agreed today wasn't anything close to us at our best but I did always think we'd snatch the points in the latter stages, we may not always be brilliant but we do usually find a way.
I saw a pundit question our set pieces and why we seem to have abandoned our reliance on something that made us champions last season, personally I think we are trying to carry on evolving as a team rather than standing still and thinking we've got it cracked.

Not sure every post is negative DG - I've been posting for about 10 years but I get your point.
19 Oct 2026 07:42:21
I joined in 2013 SY and you was already propping up the bar when I got here mate ?.
So you've been a member at least 13 years if not more mate ?.

Back in the day when the top 6 were talked about now it's the big 5 Ed lol SAKA FOR LEFT BACK AND KALASTROM RIGHT WING FOR ME HEHEHE let me take my saka glasses off first sorry for the late reply i'm in Egypt.
{Ed025's Note - Saka,s crossing has been abysmal DG, i dont know if i would swap him for Brennan Johnson...oh yeah i would.. :)
19 Oct 2026 13:04:31
He’s been s*** for the last 3 years mate, and just because he came from the ranks, doesn’t mean he should have special treatment, eze was crap and got dragged off half time,but saka was worse did he even beat a man yesterday I don’t think he did, but you can’t slate him because he’s defends well
{Ed025's Note - He has certainly gone downhill DG, he has the ability but he really has to up his game mate..

Well said Edward 25 on to the next game

I really don't get the Saka knocking, he more than playered his part in us becoming champions and 18 months ago we were absolutely desperate for him to be fit for the Champions league quarter final against Real and he certainly didn't disappoint in either leg as we enjoyed one of best ever European nights.
I've absolutely no idea what the 3 year tag is about, i find that really strange ?.

I'm sure Bayern are at the very least wary and you don't always post negatively Sy, I remember May 2017 ;) Yes Saka playing not at his best but there is an argument we have much better players and he at least doesn't shine as much. Sell him - nah! - I'm sure as a Premier League Winner he isn't worried by some noise COYG

I just wonder if the way the team is being directed to play simply does not allow our best players to perform. When Saka was at his best, we played a more free flowing, expansive game. Now, when he gets the ball there are already two to three players on him. When we moved the ball quickly, and trusted our ability to play to feet he looked far more dangerous.
If we can't turn it on at Forest, who have been abysmal this season, how are we going to play against Bayern. Sorry for the negativity but I do think football needs to be joyful to watch.
{Ed025's Note - you were a bit boring Hoxton, too many passes backwards and sideways for me mate and the standards of crosses was abysmal imo..

Haha. I'm not known for my entertainment quotient. ?.

The last 2 seasons we've finished 1st and second in the champions league qualification league and last season we were outstanding again Bayern even though we weren't playing our best in the Premier League, are Bayern not at least as worried about us as we are them?
Last season we were criticised for relying almost totally on set pieces for our goals, this season we have scored 21 of our 22 goals from open play plus one penalty. We are Premier League champions for the first time in 22 years and are currently sitting in second place as we try to defend our title.
We are currently enjoying a golden period in our history after a long run of being also rans, shouldn't we spend more time appreciating and being grateful for all the things that are right with our club rather spending our time looking at and dwelling on our imperfections? This Golden period won't last forever and we will once again play Spurday night football in the Europa league or possibly even make our Europa Conference debut at some stage, it's inevitable.
I guess some people really won't be able to appreciate what we have right now until it's gone, cest la vie as they say in Norfolk.

Absolutely echo that post 62 ??????
We're fu**in champions for a reason! Not because everyone else bottled it it's because we conquered the league fair n square without cheating our way to it. Classenal❤️?
Imperfections are part of life but nobody's perfect let's enjoy what we have n support the champions of England which is us! The Arsenal ❤️?
Bring on ze Germans.
